KALIYA (THE HAUNTED DOLLS)
Chapter 18

Mbok Darmi is awake. He fell asleep while guarding Sandrina.

With her eyes still tightly closed and her face down, she fumbled over the bed where Sandrina was lying.

" Astagfirullahaladzim ! " Mbok Darmi gasped when he did not find Sandrina in his place. Sandrina should be in front of him. But this bed is empty.

" Non Sandrina ! " Mbok Darmi got up and walked to the toilet. Sandrina has now been moved into the room.

Slowly Mbok Darmi opened the toilet door, but Sandrina did not find it. He began to panic, because he was trusted by his employer to take care of Sandrina. But what's going on now? Sandrina just disappeared.

Mbok Darmi cursed himself because he could have fallen asleep while accompanying Sandrina. I don't know why it felt like he was witched and sleepy.

" Aduhhh, how is this. If you see the same Mother you know, I must be angry. " Mbok Darmi also walked out to ask the sisters who knew anyone saw Sandrina.

In the parking lot in front of the Hospital building. Malvino pulled the car over. Andara went down first, she felt a bad feeling about Sandrina.

" Fuck ! That's Sandrina ! " Andara was stunned as she looked up at the top roof of the Hospital. Sandrina walked on the roof top guardrail with a blank look. One arm holds a Kaliya doll, but it is clearly at home. Why is it in Sandrina's hands?

" Astagfirullah Sandrina ! " calling Malvino who just got out of the car and caught the figure of his daughter was up there. A very dangerous situation for Sandrina's life.

The screams of Andara and Malvino invited several people who were also in the courtyard of the Hospital to look up at the five-story building. At first, no one was aware of Sandrina's whereabouts, not since when she walked on the wall.

Malvino ran to the elevator, but unfortunately the elevator door did not open. Until he decided to go through the emergency stairs.

Andara still ran far behind him. Fortunately when you arrived, the elevator door was open.

Malvino and Andara took two different paths to get to the top of the rooftop.

Malvino ran up one by one the emergency stairs. Instantly he came to a halt, upon hearing the sound of cries and roars around the emergency stairs.

Malvino circulated his gaze, the moment he had reached the second floor. Still have to go through 3 more stairs in order to get up there. But now it is even hampered by a strange sound that sounds heartbreaking.

Feeling a waste of time, Malvino also tried not to care about the sound of crying. He ran back but this time the sound of footsteps was noisy, as if he was not the only one climbing the emergency stairs.

At first he thought if the one down there was Andara his wife. But as he looked down, he saw the figure of a child running around as if chasing after him. Sontak Malvino hastened his pace.

In the elevator. Andara who was panicking also got interference from the figure of Kaliya. The elevator that was riding on Andara suddenly stopped on the third floor. At first you thought someone was going to get into the elevator. But he was wrong. The elevator lights instantly turn off over and over again. The corner of your eye caught a terrible figure on the glass-lined elevator wall. Until the reflection can be seen on all four sides.

Andara covered her mouth with her palms, tears were already crammed flowing down her cheeks. In a precarious state, the spirit figure of the little boy continued to haunt him. In addition to fear, anxiety is also increasingly torturing themselves. Sandrina is in grave danger. What if Kaliya makes Sandrina jump off the rooftop?

Various bad thoughts flashed through the mind of Andara. Makes him more agitated. Don't want to get Sandrina for nothing. Finally, Andara tries to ward off fear and tries to communicate with Kaliya.

" Ka-li-ya, "your voice is stammering and slow.

Kaliya who had originally lowered his head now began to look up. He showed his creepy face. With blackened eyes both on the inside and around his eyes. All black to invisible sclera (white part of the eye) or bead eyes. It contrasts with the color of her pale skin. But even so, Andara is sure if the current figure of Kaliya is staring intently at him.

" What do you want? I beg you to release my son, "please ask Andara with compassion.

" I'll make him a friend, take him away with me, I'm alone, I need a friend, "a horrible shrill voice came out from Kaliya's mouth that was covered in thick blood.

" No ! Nooooo ! " You are closing your ears not wanting to hear Kaliya's confession just now.

You massage the elevator button roughly. He cannot be inside with the evil figure of Kaliya.

You must make it out of the elevator, saving Sandrina before Kaliya embodies her cursed wish.

Kaliya's laughter was heard laughing at her panic.

Andara immediately ran as the elevator door opened. Surprisingly he didn't find anyone in the Hospital, there should be a lot of people in public places like this. The patient's family, the doctor, the nurse or anyone else. You don't see it. It was as if there were only Andara and Kaliya in this fifth-floor building.

With a hunting breath, Andara arrived at the roof top.

" Sandrina, get down, baby ! It's Mami. " Slowly Andara walked closer towards Sandrina who was still standing on the wall. Which only fit one foot on the wall.

Sandrina looked over smilingly at Andara.

She is not Sandrina, but the spirit of Kaliya who controls her daughter's soul.

" Kaliya, I beg you. Don't take my son. He's not wrong. I beg you ! I'll help you, whatever it is just don't take my Sandrina, " cried Andara.

Now Malvino also appeared behind Andara. With sweat flooding all over the body.

Malvino recited as much prayer as he could. In order to expel the spirit of Kaliya that nests on the body of the princess only her puppet.

Instantly Sandrina's body weakened almost he fell if Malvino did not immediately catch him.

" Sandrinaa ! " call Andara.

Down there several rescue teams were prepared if at any time Sandrina fell, they could save the little girl.

Without them knowing the real situation, so many think that Sandrina was depressed because of pressure from both parents that made Sandrina want to kill herself. Various speculations emerged among the crowd of people. Mbok Darmi who is also there can only be silent unable to explain anything.

Now Malvino is holding an unconscious Sandrina. He followed Andara beside him. They walked hand in hand, with gasps, a flood of sweat and tears.

They decided to bring Sandrina home tonight as well.
